%X Many schools and out-of-school organizations use social-emotional learning (SEL) programs to boost students¡¯ skills. Yet research shows that these programs can be difficult to implement and don¡¯t always meet students¡¯ needs. In response, Rebecca Bailey, Laura Stickle, Gretchen Brion-Meisels, and Stephanie Jones propose a new approach to SEL premised on three big ideas: SEL should be framed around a developmental model designed to target specific, age-appropriate skills; a flexible strategy-based approach may increase the feasibility of SEL implementation and school-wide consistency; and SEL is most effective when teachers are encouraged to implement and adapt strategies that meet their students¡¯ needs and reflect their experiences. The authors describe how such a program was implemented in a preK-8 summer program
